Field Investigations

At Egis, we conduct an extensive array of Field Investigations for our clients. With over 30 years in business, we have developed expertise in all types of Field Investigations.

We can conduct your accident investigations from start to finish. This includes obtaining a copy of the police report, securing photographs and preparing a diagram of the scene, photographing vehicles and/or injuries, canvassing for witnesses and surveillance footage of the accident, and taking statements from witnesses and involved parties.

Gaining the cooperation of witnesses is a key element to gathering the facts and evidence needed to ascertain the truth. We have the "people skills" and experience necessary to gain the cooperation of even hostile witnesses, turning them into valuable assets at trial.​Our background investigations can provide you with a complete history of a subject, including criminal records, history of civil litigation, employment history, assets and liabilities, accident history, residential history, marital history, social media activities, education, recreational activities and standing in the community. A client may narrow the scope of the background investigation to satisfy the needs of each particular case.

Surveillance

Our Investigators are experts in the field of video surveillance. They are highly trained both in the mechanics and the laws applicable to surveillance and an individuals right to privacy. They utilize discrete surveillance vehicles that give them the ability to remain undetected. One of our surveillance units parked on a subject's street appears as nothing more than an unattended parked vehicle. This, coupled with long range video cameras, and low light, night vision, and concealable cameras, allows us to document the full extent of a subject's activities.

We conduct surveillance utilizing a single Investigator and single surveillance vehicle or with a multi vehicle / multi Investigator surveillance team. Our ability to use multi Investigator - multi vehicle surveillance teams allows us to follow even those subjects who may attempt to detect or elude possible surveillance. We are often called upon to conduct surveillance of individuals who have detected other less discrete Investigators. A multi-vehicle surveillance team also provides a means to conduct surveillance in some of the more difficult locations such as rural areas, or urban neighborhoods where a subject may have a front exit to the street and a rear exit to an alley.​When a subject takes to the water (jet skiing, water skiing, swimming, boating, wake boarding, etc.) we are ready to take the assignment. With our Marine Surveillance Unit (M.S.U.) and our Coast Guard Licensed Captain / Investigator, we have conducted numerous successful waterborne surveillances. Our M.S.U. has also been implemented to conduct surveillance of people vacationing at shoreside locations where their activities would not be visible from land but are in plain view to boaters (and our M.S.U. Investigators).​

​We are the best source for professional, quality driven investigative services at competitive rates. We have decades of collective and comprehensive investigative knowledge. Our investigators are seasoned professionals who have earned at least a bachelors degree in criminal justice or in a related field.
